Complete Collection for the PC

[Sol Invictus]

there was a complete collection of metal slug 1-6 and X for the PC called "Metal Slug Complete PC" that DHM Interactive published for SNK in 2010.....the collection for the wii cost $35 - so 5$ a game.......and console games are always costing more then the PC counterpart
Are the recent releases of the metal slug series a cash grab or there are newer improvements that make this a must buy?

[haha nerds...]

These versions have online multiplayer, which the console collections didn't have, and AFAIK the older PC collection didn't either.

That said, surely there will be a bundle deal once all the titles have been relased on Steam.

I want to play the complete version, but I don't know how to get it. Any help?

I hope they'll release XX on PC eventually.... I only got to play it a little on a handheld/DS.

I just decided to get "ALL THE MS GAEMS" the day I posted here.
So I did. (you know google stuff, find stuff)
Well, nostalgia aside I came to understanding why SNK ported 1,2,X and 3 only. Kinda.

It was the golden age of Metal slug.
1 - great introduction.
2\X - expanded on the concepts, pixel art is now colorful and tasty.
3 - expanded the game again, wide variety of everything, multiple paths in missions awesome bosses.

4 - expanded gameplay a bit. RECYCLED LOTS OF STUFF, new pixelart is garbage, chase parts are MEH. Kinda lacks variety. MEH last boss and some other bosses. Riding enemy vehicles is ok BUT you will get forced out of them like after 1 minute to get to the new stage of the mission.

5 - new enemies, new unique Slug (not enough of him though). RECYCLED LOTS OF STUFF, pixelart got better (still garbage), got new enemies but not as diverse as in 3. Garbage midbosses (slaughterhouses with standard enemies), MEH art on the last boss.

Both games wont sell. Like at all. They have like 50% of kinda sorta good content and 25% ugly stuff.

6 - huge gameplay shifts (6 chars with traits, special attacks, weapon sorage and multipliers). Garbage renderred backgrounds. Gameplay have convoluted stuff now, not good. Garbage last boss (basically Eri required).

XX - (aka 7 remake) got better but even more bland renderred garbage backgrounds near the middle, somehow lacks enemy variety (future soliders are MEH).

6 and XX kinda sorta disappointed me (yeah played them just now). They plays good but visuals got GROSSLY outdated. Resolution will unevenly smudge characters on UGLY rendered backgrounds.

I know all the games except 7/XX well, I got them on consoles. Definitely the games after 3 (especially 4) are not as good.... but I'd still like to have them, if nothing else then because I've played 1-3 so much over the years. And especially 7/XX which is mostly new to me.

7 was made for Nitendo DS and XX is just its remake for PSP (xbox 360/one) it without lack of resolution. Thaks there are PSP emulators nowadays.

From what I remember 7 for DS didn't have multiplayer, which is quite a large bit of the appeal. IIRC it also ran at a weird resolution, making the graphics "shift around" when scrolling.
